The over-emphasis on standardized testing.

Do you have a motto you live by?

What kind of kid were you in high school?

Cheerleader, captain of the forensics team, marching band vice-president, and so much more - I was involved in everything!

What's the best piece of advice someone ever gave you?

Never listen to your mother-in-law. Haha, just kidding although nothing else comes to mind at the moment.
